Is the Sky Sports subscription just a code that you could use on a PC with Sky Player if you don't have an Xbox? For example, could I buy 10 months for £125 and watch Sky Sports on my PC all next season?

Read the miniumum requirments bit, the codes are only valid until the 30th september 2010.. would be a waste of £125!

The thing with the sky player is that the codes are really a one month free trial. If you don't put a cancellation through a day after you have started it (takes a month for it to cancel), they will charge you £30 odd pound for the next month. I was hoping it would be a lot easier than that so bought one a while back but then haven't used it due to that reason. If anyone wants it let me know and I will put it up for £5.

This isn't true, you can cancel on the last day and they don't charge you, as I did.

I did it all online, signed up for 1 month (yes had to put credit card details in) and cancelled after 25 days, recieved an email saying subscription will cease in 5 days, kept an eye on the credit card statement for the next few months, nothing was ever taken from them, so as long as you do it right, everything will be fine.

If I buy this, and want sky sports only for 1 month, would I phone them up right at the start to put in a cancellation request, or is it done through the console?

It isn't, it's valid until the end of 2011.

You can cancel this straight after you use the code, you still get a months worth of Sky. You can't stack them though i.e use four codes in a row and get 4 months of Sky. You have to wait until the first code has expired then use another. Otherwise I'd buy enough for next season and use them all in august to avoid the September validity issue.

Looks a good deal to me....though i know very little about accessing sky tv through my xbox......Is Sky streamed through my broadband connection ? Is Sky-Player any good ?? Are there any issues as regards to buffering ??? What sky channels are avaiable once ive purchased this item ???? Can you record channels on the xbox hard drive ????? Lots of questions i know but like i said am not familiar with Sky Player or streaming through my games console.

Streamed through your broadband.
Pretty good actually.
I've not encountered any problems with buffering, it buffers for about 5 seconds at the start then none at all on a my 4mb line.
Sky Sports 1/2/3/4, Sky One, G.O.L.D, Nat Geo, Sky Arts, MTV, Eurosport 1/2, History,CN, Nick.
No recording, but you can watch alot of the stuff on demand which is free.

Can also use Sky Player on any PC anywhere (in the UK only though I would presume)
